Where the **&$## are my keys??!!!

[SCadaddle]

Duly noted on the images of the keys! Hopefully Charles will delete his "quote" with my images. Thanks.

[Charles Freeborn]

Thanks gents. My Targa is hardly theft target material, and is either securely parked way off street or seldom out of sight. Image edited nonetheless.
Cheers,

I have a 1/14" shaper that has been fired up one time in the past four to five years. I stop taking those jobs. It was used to make some custom entry doors. My door fab guy was booked solid, so I had to do it myself. When I grow up, I will get back into real woodworking like you.

All true. The set up and jigging is extensive for even a simple project like this. The minimum quantity run that's even remotely feasible is 50 units, with optimum being a run of 150 or so. Also looking for other avenues to market, such as wristwatch case, domino piece case, etc. Here's another one I made for an upcoming silent auction that benefits children's causes here in Portland:

The benefit runs concurrently with a race weekend. Lots of fun for everyone.

Love it! I'd take one with "Porsche" or the badge, but there may be copyright issues? Great work!

Yeah, I gotta stay away from copyrighted graphics. The numerical model numbers in the correct font is about as close as I can get without risking trouble.

Very nicely done!
Hmmm... I have a catchall next to the front door where I toss my wallet/keys/cellphone. I fear if I tried to reprogram my old brain to relocate where I stash those objects it would not end well.

It would make a very nice ceegar box... if I still smoked ceegars (once or twice a year I indulge and run to the tobacconist for a fresh one).

I do still have a watch collection, it would be good storage for a few select timepieces.

How much to have 944 etched on the box?

[Charles Freeborn]

Yes , 944 will be in the lineup too. Will keep you all posted on progress - should be in the next month or so.
